Résumé

The Intense Primer is a trail bike that has evolved from its previous mile-munching persona to offer more confident handling, thanks to its JS Link suspension which provides a neutral feel on descents. While it boasts a high-end finish and efficient rear suspension, some reviews note a lack of traction from the rear tyre and a front end that could benefit from more stiffness. The bike's performance is a mix of old-school feel and modern trail capabilities, with some spec choices and suspension consistency coming under scrutiny.

Pros
  • Rear suspension is efficient with good small-bump sensitivity as well as stability

  • Full-carbon frame and bling spec

  • Confident handling

  • High-end finish with neat internal cable routing, rubber frame protection and titanium hardware

  • JS Link suspension is decidedly neutral on descents

Cons
  • Maxxis Rekon+ rear tyre lacks traction in some conditions

  • Front end lacks stiffness

  • Shimano XT rear brake suffered from a constantly shifting bite point

  • Lack of mid-stroke support

  • Suspension doesn't feel consistent

Key Quotes
While the previous Primer was a bit of a mile-muncher, the change with this model is very apparent.

Intense Primer S Pro 2020 review

févr. 2020

Intense's Primer S Pro marries a 29" wheel and 150mm of travel up front to 140mm of bounce and a smaller, fat tyred 650b wheel at the rear. It's a lightweight, good looking and high-end bike that offers a lot for the asking price, but the ride and suspension isn't quite as sorted as some similarly spendy rivals.

Intense Primer Shootout 27.5 vs 279 vs 29 - Mountain Bike Action Magazine

oct. 2019 · Brandon

Most riders are familiar with the handling differences between 27.5-inch and 29er wheels, but once the third option is tossed into the mix, the choice can become a difficult one to make.

sept. 2019 · Tom Marvin

Looking at the Primer, you might expect it to be quite a hard-charger, but out on the trail the bike has a more ‘head down’, cross-country style ride feel.. .
